(i.ii) Parts of the building wall length may exceed the maximum
perimeter wall height, but must never exceed a maximum wall height of 8.4 metres.
(ii) Those parts of the building that extend beyond a plane formed by
lines projecting inward at an angle of 45 degrees from the vertical at the respective permitted average perimeter wall heights as measured from grade along the lines of the outermost building faces, will be considered in the determination of average perimeter wall height. Gable ends, dormers and those parts of the building wall identified under sub-section (11)(a)(i)(i.i) will not be included in the determination of average perimeter wall height.
